Teaching in the Background
1. Position the object that you wish to teach in as a background in front of the sensor at the
specified distance.
2. Set the rotary switch to TB position (teach-in background).
3. The background is taught in when the rotary switch remains in the TB position constantly
for 2 seconds.
4. The green and yellow display LEDs flash alternately after teach-in has been completed
(f=2.5 Hz).
You have taught in the background.
To complete the teach-in process, turn the rotary switch to the S position (see Switching
mode).
Dynamic Teach-In
The dynamic teach-in operation begins when the rotary switch remains in the TD position
constantly for 2 seconds. Values are then transferred continually. The first signals received
after changing to "Dynamic Teach-In" mode are interpreted by the sensor as a background.
The largest deviation from the background during the entire "Teach-In Dynamic" mode is
interpreted as a mark. The green and yellow LED indicators flash simultaneously at a
frequency of 1 Hz during this mode.
1. Position the object that you wish to teach in as a background in front of the sensor at the
specified distance.
2. Turn the rotary switch to the TD position. Both LEDs then flash simultaneously at a
frequency of 1 Hz in the subsequent process.
3. Wait approx. 4 seconds.
4. Now slide the object that you wish to teach in as a mark past the sensor at the specified
distance.
You have taught in the values for the background and mark.
To complete the teach-in process, turn the rotary switch to the S position (see Switching
mode).
Switching Mode
The rotary switch is located in the S position. The teach-in procedure has finished. The
received signals of all 3 transmitter light colors for the mark and background are evaluated.
1. The mark and background were taught-in successfully and the sensor changes to switching
mode.
The most favorable transmitter light color for the taught-in contrast is selected. At this
point, the values are adopted permanently and used as operating parameters. The
switching threshold is set midway between the mark and the background. The outputs Q1
and Q2 are active and indicate the current signal state (mark or background detected).
The output Q2 always generates an output signal that is inverted to output Q1.
2. The mark and background were taught in unsuccessfully. The sensor indicates a fault via
the LED indicators (the yellow and green LEDs flash quickly and alternately).
The taught-in contrast is too low for all 3 transmitter light colors. The sensor automatically
changes to switching mode and the last valid values for the mark and background are
adopted. The recently measured values for the mark and background are discarded. The
yellow and green display LEDs flash alternately at a frequency of 8 Hz for approx. 7
seconds.
